Achutupu Island

Achutupu is a tiny private island along the western edge of the Gula Yala archipelago—both El Porvenir and Cartí are fairly close. Achutupu is one of the most beautiful islands in the entire archipelago. A white-sand beach borders the island and palm trees fill the interior. The water here is calm and clear and great for snorkeling. There's even an old shipwreck off the south side of the island. Colorful coral grow along the ship's sides and tropical fish swim around it. It's a fun place to peer beneath the water and marvel at marine life.
